Bare Bridge

[ginacarter]

Hi Don,

I did feel it; felt smooth but not "soapy" like, more like any finished
wood. Another thing I forgot to mention was that the usual notching
indications were not that prevalent, almost not there. Next time I service
it, I'll take a picture and maybe even learn how to use my scanner.

Seeing that bridge made me wonder why bridges are lubricated, with graphite
or whatever. I hope somebody can answer Del's questions.

Thanks guys, for all the responses.

Gina
